It's a beauty morning again, gives it another sunny day even hotter than yesterday, yerrrrr even down south.

Just to let you all know if you hav'nt looked on yesterdays chat yet, Sue52 posted a comment late lastnight to say that Her Father had pastaway yesterday afternoon. I'm sure that all of our hearts go out to Her and Her family on this sad occasion.

I hope you all keep focused today with it being hot again, like Emjay said yesterday, when you have a cool drink sat in your garden. That happened to me yesterday, got a cool can a lager, sat at the top of the garden, gosh did those cravings start, but i stood, erm well sat my ground should i say, and beat them off. So i am going to do that again today, and the next day, until i've mastered them!!!! Have a goodn everybody.

Pete.

Remember, that any questions that you have may help others wondering the same thing.

Hi pete hope you managed to have a nod. At least hubby thought it was funny with my new name. There again he likes stockings, dont know about wrinkly ones though. lol. Poor andie getting the blame for my new nickname. good job we all seem to have a sense of humour. Bye the way dentist went very well thanks.

Good Morning to you all, it's slightly hazy here today but apparently we've some sun on the way

Well done to you for staying strong whilst sitting in the sunshine with a few tinnies Pete.Thats some practicing that you are getting under your belt

Looks like you have yourself a new name now Jillygirl Keeping those fresh melon pieces ready in the fridge is a real good idea and will stop you reaching for anything that may be bad for your health (piggies!) or for your waistband (chocolate!). Keeping ready chopped snacks always works. Good luck at the dentist today, why not book yourself in for a nice clean and polish?

Our thoughts are with Sue at this sad time, big hugs being sent to her from us all here xx

Just want to let Sue know she is in my thoughts and sending my love to her.

Pete, wow a greenhouse, that must be baking hot in there! What do you grow in your greenhouse? I just have the world's saddest herb garden on my kitchen shelf haha! I love cooking with fresh herbs- no idea what to put with what food but whatever, it's fun throwing them in!

Today I ticked the last box on the Quit Journey calendar I recieved with my NHS quit kit which makes me feel sad. I liked ticking off the days, it felt good. Think I will fold it away as a keepsake though.

Hope everyone is enjoying this evil erm... beautiful weather, keep cool and don't forget to chug back on the water! xx

LOL! I know, typical female eh Must admit I rather crave a shandy at the moment (only a splash of beer because that is allowed) but back in the day it would be a cider in this weather! Good thinking on the spreadsheet thing, problem is if I carry on doing this I get pretty OCD and continue for years so probably best I just acknowledge Fridays as weeks since I quit and for months the 27th. If I remember.. haha! Don't forget your sun lotion don't want to get crispy and have a good day honey xxx
